Unhandled Exception: type '_Map<String, dynamic>' is not a subtype of type 'GeoPoint'

Team i'm encountering the below error coming from the collection .dart file.

E/flutter ( 9784): [ERROR:flutter/runtime/dart_vm_initializer.cc(41)] Unhandled Exception: type '_Map<String, dynamic>' is not a subtype of type 'GeoPoint'
E/flutter ( 9784): #0 GeoFireCollectionRef._buildQueryStream.. (package:geoflutterfire2/src/collection.dart:124:24)

The code in the library on line 124 is

final GeoPoint geoPoint = geoPointField['geopoint'];

I'm encountering an issue with the same line of code, in collection.dart on line 124
final GeoPoint geoPoint = geoPointField['geopoint'];

However I get the error

flutter: type 'Null' is not a subtype of type 'GeoPoint'

It only seems to be an issue on iOS for me, same code works fine on Android.
Any idea what this could be?

I'm using v2.3.15 and it's still happening.

After a long time, I discovered that the problem was the data type in the database.

I had something like this:

And I changed it to this:

from "map" to "geopoint".

It could be resolved by changing the line you mentioned from:

final GeoPoint geoPoint = geoPointField['geopoint'];

To:

final GeoPoint geoPoint = geoPointField['geopoint'] as GeoPoint;

I hope this can be like this in the next version.

@monika-with-a-k If you have a null field, you should change it to a "geopoint", or ignore the records where yourField is null in your database query

It's solved now. Thanks
